Description: Among Roger Puta's slides I found this one of three SP TE70-4S units. I found this explanation on the site espee.railfan.net/te_70-4s.html "In 1977, SP sold 4 written off U25B's to Morrison Knudsen, for re-engining with Swiss built Sulzer 3000hp (derated to 2800 hp) V-12's. Not much was reused, only the trucks, traction motors, frame, main generator, cab and nose. The long hood was rebuilt 10 inches higher, and 4 inches wider to take the Sulzer engine, looking like a GP30 over the cab roof area. When released from MK, these units had a variation on the Daylight paint." The only information I have on the slide is these are SP 7030, 7031, and 7033 photographed by Roger in March 1978.
